SEGMENT #1 – NewsWrap: Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation chief Alum Mpofu,
another prominent ally of the country's virulently homophobic President
Robert Mugabe, is ousted in a gay sex scandal, while in the U.S., six men in
Jefferson County, Missouri are charged with violating the state's law against
"deviate sexual intercourse with another person of the same sex"; in
Australia, a Melbourne, Victoria Family Court has fueled controversy by
giving a gay sperm donor increased visitation rights with the child he
fathered for a lesbian couple; back in the U.S., a post-Rosie poll by ABC
News shows a bare majority of Americans now support adoption rights for gay &
lesbian couples, while queer couples in Nebraska and Pennsylvania go to court
over adoption issues; the Montgomery County, Maryland Council and the City
Council of San Jose, California each take steps toward providing same-gender
partners with the same exemption from real estate taxes that heterosexual
married couples receive when one transfers property into the other's name; a
Montreal couple wins their Quebec Human Rights Commission complaint against 2
harassing homophobic neighbors, but it remains to be seen if the perpetrators
will pay the C$36,000 fine levied against them; Vietnam's first-ever Pride
celebration draws sharp government condemnation and poisonous press; and gay
icon Liza Minnelli defends the heterosexuality of her new husband David Gest,
but admits to the queer newspaper "Texas Triangle" that her "gaydar" track
record isn't very good [written this week by LUCIA CHAPPELLE, with thanks to
GRAHAM UNDERHILL, BRIAN NUNES, JASON LIN, CHRIS AMBIDGE, REX WOCKNER and GREG
GORDON, and anchored by DEAN ELZINGA & LUCIA CHAPPELLE]. . . . 9:30
SEGMENT #2 - Ward/Queer History billboard [:10] + The growing and dynamic
queer liberation movements in the Third World have their own unique national
and regional histories and developing identities. PETER DRUCKER, a U.S.
activist based in the Netherlands, has edited an anthology of essays by
several Third World activists called "DIFFERENT RAINBOWS" (Gay Men's Press).
In last week's first of a 3-part conversation, This Way Out correspondent
MICHAEL SCHEMBRI [2SER-FM/Sydney's "Gaywaves"] talked with Drucker about the
influences of globalization and the West on Third World queer struggles for
equality. This time, the discussion explores the unique "patterns" being
created by Third World queer liberation movements -- the differing successes,
challenges, and confrontations with religion and post-colonial mindsets -- in
South Africa, Nicaragua, Indonesia, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan and Thailand
[6:30] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:40
[next time: the impact of the "War on Terrorism" and other social and
political forces on Third World GLBT liberation movements]
SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by the late gay South African anti-apartheid
activist TSEKO SIMON NKOLI [:10] + Lecturer JANE WARD, who's taught
lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender history at the University of
California-Santa Barbara, tracks the often-disparate paths that Western gay
men and lesbians have taken on the road to liberation over the past few
hundred years, using history (and a sense of humor) as her compass [9:50] .
